between the upper and lower sashes,
of the foul air will escape, though the
current through this opening is not in
variably outward. Another plan con-
sists in bringing a pipe about six
inches in diameter through, and pos
sibly under the floor, to the stove,
where 1t terminates In q sheet-iron
Jacket placed around the stove leav-
ing q space of one Or two inches and
having escapes only at the top. The
heat of the stove will produces strong
current through the pipe, and thus
plenty OF fresh, warmed air is admit
ted to the room. The exact amount
Of air entering may be regulated by g.
properly constructed damper.
For every room heated by stove,
there should be two fues, one for
smoke and other gaseous products of
combustion, the otherfo ventilation.
The latter should extend to the floor,
just above which there should be q,
register. The partition between the
ventilating and hesmoke fues should
be OF brick placed on edge, thus max
ing 1t as thin as possible, so that the
upper part of the ventilating hue will
be thoroughly heated from the smoke
Hue; or the smoke hue may be Of iron
pipe placed in q large fue, and the
space all around the pipe will serve as
ventilating hue. With this arrange
| ment the upper part of the ventilat-
| ing flue will be heated whenever there

| OF the foul air will be rendered certain.
| 1t should be seen to in building the
chimney that the inside Of the ventil-
ating flue be not clogged with mortar
Or pieces of brick.
Unfortunately, however, the great
majority Of houses which are heated
| by stoves are built without the slight
est pl Q vision for ventilation. In such
houses fresh air may DO introduced by
the method already given; but the es-
cape Of foul air is more difficult to be
provided for. It may be done, how
ever, as follows: Place Lipe of tin or
sheet iron, from six to ten inches in
diameter, according to the size Of the
room, along the wall behind the stove.
The lower end of this pipe extends to
within q few inches Of the floor, and
remains open, while the upper end
passes by means of an elbow into g.
smoke fue below the point at which
the stove pipe enters. When the
chimney begins near the ceiling, as it
does In many inexpensive houses, the
upper part of the ventilating pipe may
be formed into a jacket, and enter the
chimney with the stove pipe.-Practi-

Healthy Homes.

Every room should have direct sun
light, and not be dependent upon that
which is diffused from another room.
The windows should extend we'll to-
ward the ceiling and be hung SO as to
lower from the top as we'll as raise
from the bottom. The blinds should
be hung in such q manner that they
are easily opened. In no part of the
house should they DO kept closed dur
ing the day.
Of all the methods of heating, the
open fire is the most enjoyable, while
the stove IS the most economical. In
the Northern States the open fire alone
seldom furnishes enough heat during
the coolest months of winter. Coal
stoves should have TO loose joints
through which gases can escape. The
mica doors must be kept in repair,
the flue must not be allowed to clog,
and attention must be given to the
hampers. The most poisonous gas
given off from burning coal is carbon
ic oxide. It is without odor, and
whole families have been poisoned by
it without being awakened. 1t COM
bines with the substance of the red
blood corpuscles, forming quite a STA
pie compound, and thus preventing
the oxygenation of the blood. Espe-
cial care must be exercised when coal
stoves are placed in bedrooms or in
rooms which open into bedrooms.
Makers of wrought iron stoves and
furnaces will insist that gases pass
more readily through cast iron, and
for this reason their stoves are supe
rior and free from danger, and
are, in many respects. superior to those
made of wrought iron. One Of the
greatest objections is that in houses
in which they are used, there is usually
no provision made for ventilation.
However, a house heated by stoves,
may be as well ventilated as any
other. In most dwellings. there is un-
fortunately, no special provision made
for ventilation; but the carpenter fits
the windows, doors and base boards
so poorly that much fresh air will
come through the crevices. But If
many occupy the same room, the
amount of fresh air which finds admit
lance through these channels may be
insufficient. Especially is this likely
to be the case if the room is sur
rounded by other parts of the build
ing, and consequently mas but a small
amount of surface exposed to the out
door air. Besides, the direct drafts
from the windows and doors are al
ways unpleasant, and may seriously
affect the inmates of the house. In
order to remedy these defects, any one
of g. number of simple devices may be
resorced to for the admission OF fresh
air. The simplest OF them consists in
fitting piece of wood from four to
eight inches wide in the window frame
directly infront of the bottom of the
lower sash. This board may be fin
ished to correspond with the wood
work of the room. With this board
in place, and the lower sash slightly
raised, two air vents in the window
are established, one under the lower
sash, the current of which is turned
upward by the board, and the other

BOYS and the Farm.

How much muscle do boys save by
leaving the farm and going to the
manufacturing towns and there en-
gaging in work Why do boys leave
the farm? Isit because they are afraid
of work that they 60 to the
cities and go to trucking, or
enter grocery store or engage IN
other WORK of the like, or isit because
they are allowed no privileges that
they want on thefarm? How are boys
generally used on the farm, working
for their parents until they are of age
without any benefit except board and
clothes, and what education they get
at the public schools In most cases
then they can go and shift for them
selves. Ii they we're allowed to have
young stock, plant piece for them
selves, trade, and were used as though
they were men, would not they like
the farm we'll enough to stay? Let g.
boy have the privilege to ask his
young associates to spend the evening
with him and act himself, and not be
afraid of his parents, would that
make them think less of the farm? Do
not be so austere with them; allow
them to have home amusements; don't
think it any worse for boy to stay
home and play games than it is to go
in the neighbours and play them,
which he will if not allowed to at
home. Boys like a little fun; they like
to be where they can speak without
expecting q lecture the next minute.
If boy has an idea of his own, let
him try it on small scale; don't try
to discourage him; don't give him a.
yoke of steers or some lambs and let
him take all the care Of them until
they are ready to sell and when sold
put the money in your own pocket.
Use them as though they were your
equals, and then more of them will
stay on the farm.-Pract teal Farmer.

ARRESTED AS ACCESSORIES.
Five Men Charged WITH aiding Mccoy
in Flight.

Ben Smalley, Chas. Moore and NAL
colin Campbell arrived from the north
last evening having in custody H. 4.
Hall, Jas. Donnelly, John Franklin and
James McChestnut, charged with assist
ing Bill Mccoy in his fight. The quar-
tette were arrested at the Keeline ranch
by Campbell and Moore.
Hall is foreman of the ranch, bears the
reputation of being a first class cowman,
a law abiding citizen, but a sworn friend
of Mccoy. He is a quiet and gentle
manly appearing fellow, as is also Frank
Ign, who with Donnelly and McChestnut
are employees at the Keeline ranch, where
it is asserted Mccoy was the recipient of
$75 in cash and the best horse obtainable.
McChestnut's appearance is against
him but nothing is known of his record
before his arrival In the territory and he

is believed that Donnelly will not long re-

arrival of a Texas officer with a requisi-
ton charging him with murder is antlci-
pated. OF course there is a possibility
that it is a case of mistaken identity.
John McGinnis, of the 4P ranch. has
been arrested on the same charge by
Deputy Sheriff Vaughn at the ranch
where he was employed.
Whatever the result of this wholesale
arrest, the prosecuting attorney and other
officers are showing commendable energy
in their efforts to bring to ~instice the men
who directly or indirectly assisted in the
escape of the most desperate character
who ever occupied a cell in the county
